    winxp volume control display disappeared

    on my laptop, i have manual controls for Volume & CD controls and when i would press Volume Down or Volume Up, a display box used to pop up (showing the level of volume or if it was muted).

    all of sudden, its gone just *poof* disappeared. I rebooted a few times, tried a few things...no luck.

    i know gfy isnt the most technical bunch but i figured i'd give it a shot anyways. i posted the same question on a technical forum i found in google too, hopefully someone can help.

                i can adjust my volume controls just fine. the little icon is there.
                the problem im having is that when i manually would hit my CD volume controls, a display box would pop up, showing me moving my volume up or down or muted. but it recently stopped doing that. just stopped poping up.

                how do i get that back, is my question.

                  Ok, this shouldn't be a problem. What kind of laptop do you have?

                        Ok, I don't know if your 6000 uses Quickstart, but if it does you might try looking here and seeing if it works:
